A cylindrical glass container (diameter 45cm) filled with liquid aniline is stored
in a large room. The ambient air (1 atm) is initially aniline-free and the room temperature is constant at
20 degree C. At t=0, the lid of the container is removed and the aniline evaporates slowly. Saturation
vapor pressure of aniline is 0.5 kPa. Molecular weight of aniline is 93 g/mol. The diffusion coefficient (D)
of aniline in air is 0.082 cm2/s.
a) Calculate the concentration of aniline in the air at 15 cm above the surface of the container after 4 min.
b) How much mass of aniline will have evaporated after 4 min?
